idk, fully electric needs be engineered to put batteries on the floor for low c of g. hybrid seems like Ferrari would want to keep that tech for themselves w sf90 and not share down market w maser. but never know w so many models coming so fast

EXACTLY!
Look at the Roma's lines---it IS the Alfieri with the odd Ferrari touches!

The Ferrari version is fine but the original really was a pretty car and very Maserati looking. What shame it won't happen but then Maserati is just lucky to still survive at this point.
Given the very limited resources a re-purposed 4C, if that's really what it is, makes more sense. I don't think I can fit in a 4C?

I'm still waiting to learn about future engines now that Ferrari won't be involved. I'm not at all interested in electric and I really don't see how Maserati as small as it is can afford to pioneer that sort of development. They need older, wealthier and more experienced brothers with the resources and experience to help them out with that. Will that now be the French? We don't get French cars here so I'm unfamiliar with their level of expertise if any in that arena?

The current twin turbo V6 motors seem very nice to operate if not to look at. The 4200 coupe engines were spectacular to look at.
I recently test drove a Levante S and I have no idea what people have to complain about with that car except for the size. I could live with the size. It drove spectacularly on smooth and very bumpy roads.
The engine sounds much better as an observer of the car than as a driver ... I hear them all the time where I live. That's what I expect from a modern Maserati and so far they've done a spectacular job.
The big motor Mercedes, BMWs and Audis just don't sound as nice.

I'm in the market for something comfortable and utilitarian but that car and a lot of other cars are too nice for the beating they will get around here.
I've beat to death 2.5 cars here now and until we move no nice cars for us.

Yes it had an innovative chassis but even that was pretty useless as the car was too unstable and uncomfortable to be driven anywhere in real life.

Anyway, the Alfa story, at least for now, is over!

I am very excited with what is happening at Maserati for the first time in my adult life!
Let's look at the bright side for once!

Regards.

The 4C was built by Maserati and I am sure this new Maserati will be very similar only bigger and better. Don't be a Maserati snob. After 15 years of cars like the GranTurismo/Ghibi/Quattroporte I thought Maserati only built sporty trucks now.
